Amaryllis Dutch 'Sweet Cream'
Amaryllis
Amaryllis ‘Sweet Cream’ reaches 18 to 22 inches tall, featuring 6 to 8 inch blooms in creamy white softly washed with blush‑pink and accented by a fresh green throat. The broad, gently ruffled petals give this variety a warm, pastel elegance that brightens winter displays. Each jumbo-sized bulb (36/+) produces three thick stalks, typically carrying four to five blossoms per stem, blooming 8 to 12 weeks after planting.
Note: Unlike Southern Hemisphere–grown amaryllis, Dutch bulbs do not bloom in time for Christmas—flowering instead from January through March.

Growing and Maintenance Tips for Amaryllis Dutch 'Sweet Cream'
Planting Time: Indoors, plant in fall or winter for winter blooms; outdoors, plant in spring in warm climates.
Location: Choose a bright, warm spot with indirect sunlight; avoid direct sun exposure.
Planting Depth: Position bulbs so one-third to one-half of their height remains above the soil surface.
Bottom Heat: Maintain a consistent temperature of 60–75°F at the base of the pot to encourage faster sprouting.
Soil Conditions: Use well-draining potting mix with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0.
Watering: Water sparingly until growth appears, then keep soil moist but not soggy.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 2–4 weeks during active growth.
Support: Tall flower stalks may need staking to prevent bending.
Post-Bloom Care: Remove spent flowers but keep foliage intact to nourish the bulb.
Dormancy: After blooming, reduce watering and store in a cool, dark place for 8–12 weeks before replanting.
